What year is it? No where else in the world can you find THREE operating RS-3s. And in spiffy, matching paint no less. And on original ex-D&H units in D&H colors. Kudos to the GVT guys for keeping these units,with 150 years of collective service, in service today. Forget Steamtown, the DL is the real show!(OK, Steamtown is nice too.)
